Subject: Comput-TV

Would anyone who has seen WAX care to hazard a guess at what "compu-TV"
might actually mean in the following quotation? Does it refer to the kinds
of visual effects that make Toy Story a daily hit at my house?

1995 Sep/Oct Bloomsbury Review 14/1 Taking many forms, the Avant-Pop
surfaces in everything from William Gibson's cyberpunk novel Neuromancer
(Ace, 1984), which merges unusual techniques (surreal images, info-dense
sentences, the introduction of astounding vocabularies) with conventional
genre science fiction conceits, to David Blair's cult film WAX, or The
Discovery of Television Among the Bees (1991), a disruptive seriocomic
narrative short with a compu-TV vision about cross-sexual reincarnation and
the Gulf War told by Mesopotamian bees (which turn out to be the souls of
the dead).
